i flashed my black PDN and now have the basic android..i want to add more apps etc. there is no market..i put some apk's on the sd card but dont really know where to go from there.. since the flash, when i connect usb, it can't find driver for the device, but i can see the device in Explorer... i dropped apk's on the device main folder too, but nothing.. i read somewhere to get Panda Home, so i went to the website to download pc suite, and after the download, it was detected as a virus..i feel like i am close to getting this to be what i wanted it to be..any help would be appreciated!
I picked up one of these and am pretty much in the same boat. My best way of getting the apk's onto the device was install dropbox, then i just dump the apk's into that folder on my pc, then open the dropbox app on the novel. I've been able to put lastpass, kindle app, etc on it that way. I'm not sure on the market, still looking around for something that lets you do that...
Will be getting a 9" version of this at Christmas, (supposed to be a surprise) and will be reporting back on it as soon as I can tinker with it. Hopefully with a file browser like ASTRO you can install the .APK'S with minimal problems. If you can even get that on there.
any chance you can link me the kindle version you installed that works i cant seem to get any to install
Got dropbox too and works great to transfer apk's to the novel. Also been using a couple of sites like www.slideme.org and www.androidpit.com both of these have android apps that work great to get some (not all) market apps on your device. Still looking for a custom rom for the 9" version though.

I'm looking for the barebones firmware for a black pandigital novel 7inch tablet, anyone have that file or know where I can find it. Unable to up to this point. It was running eclair before updating it, update was terrible. Thanks.
So I believe this is the right place to post this.
I'm looking for an app that can save/sync games across devices. I lost my one phone and I had purchased some credits to support the game and when I lost is I lost all of the credits and I am playing a long RPG but there are times when I wish I could play it on my tablet instead of on my phone, but i dont want to play through it twice at the same time.
Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow me to back up and sync my application information across devices using something like drop box?
Titanium Backup does exactly that.
how does one do that, I'm trying to get a copy of spectral souls from my transformer over to my nexus S 4g, so i can be slightly more mobile and play?
I'm sure there is a more elegant way, but what I did to transfer my Battleheart save game to the phone was copy the TB properties and tar files for Battleheart from my Tab to my phone, then rename them so the filenames matched the phone app data filenames and replaced the phone's ones with them. I did this because both devices are currently in use, obviously between new devices you can just use TB like normal to restore the apps+data. Wouldn't be something I'd like to do a lot, I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution (probably TB does it natively and I just didn't see it...).
Hi,
Right so I've recently baught "gangstar Rio" from gameloft, brilliant game etc but one problem.. Its SOOO LAGGY. Like sometimes I'll be running along or driving and it will send me WAYYYYYY off course, or precede to turn way after I've needed to thus making the game almost impossible.
I run my Xperia Play (r800i) at "On-Demand" and at 1.9GHz Maximum which could EASILY cope with this game but its as-if the touch-screen and the buttons dont like each other and from time to time ill get a "Application has crashed" force close message.
Now I'm taking my phone and my laptop with me on deployment to A'ghan; what I want to know is is there anyway to set my backed-up ROM from my phone as the rom on the android emulator so that I can get it and other xperia play optimised games to play smoothly (I also have the sixaxis mod) and use either a wired usb controller on my laptop or set so that my emulator allows me to set which keys are the controller of the xperia play?
You would somehow need to get your hands on a recovery app apk like CMW or xRecovery, then install the recovery apk on your emulator, then flash your backed up rom on your emulator with recovery.
This is just a theory. With a little luck and patience I think it's possible.
A way to install apk on emulator is through URLs. If you have access though FTP to some site, you upload to a directory the open that URL inside the emulator's browser. APK will prompt to install. Just remember allowing unkown sources from applications menu.
So, after countless hours of searching and trying many ways to install some of my favorite games from my bionic to my tab, I had found 0 luck. (Completely stock tab and phone, Free games just not compatible) I stumbled on something interesting though:
The ES FIle explorer allows you to back up apps on your phones sd card! So, with that said, I did that... plug my phone into my PC, copied the backup file, drag and droped onto my tab, and boom, it worked! No longer do I have to play my games in a foreign language! I have only tried 2, but had success with the game working and I have to head off to work...
The one down side is, the backup is for a phone sized GUI, so I did run into some control problems, but Im sure this could be remedied i *think* by using another compatible tab device, backing it up on that tab, then repeating the process! (IE.., Moto Xoom, w/e 10.1" tab) My wife just so happens to have a xoom, so I shall try it out and report back in a day or two!
Just wanted to share!
The backup isn't for a phone sized gui, the app is. Each app has settings for all the resolutions it supports...
I have a high score in Subway Surfers, I've also played counless hours, so I've wracked up a lot of coins and unlocked a lot of items. I have the galaxy note 2 for tmobile and it broke. It doesnt charge any more and they are sending me a new phone. I want to back up my data so i don't lose all my progress in subway surfers.
I was looking at the hack and how it has you replace the files in the com.kiloo.subwaysurf folder with modified text files to give unlimited coins etc... I tried copying my 3 data files to the ext sdcard so I could put them on my new phone, but when I looked at the files in a text editor, they were out of date and contained 1 month on scores, etc. So i figured they weren't being used in the operation of the game. I deleted the 3 data files in that folder, turned the game on, and sure enough, deleting those files had no affect. I tried replacing them with the hacked files people are using to cheat, and sure enough, nothing happened. So if the 3 files in my com.kiloo.subwaysurf aren't actually being using to store my Subway Surfer data, then where exactly is it being stored so I can back it up?
Please help.
Thanks.
The free version of Titanium Backup can back up an app + data. Did that not work (is the data not being backed up, too ?) ?
When I went to market, it said Titanium Backup Pro free or paid, requires root. I am not rooted.
Ah, if you're already getting a replacement it might be worth it to root to be able to get your data off. You might need root to see the correct files, but maybe someone knows a way for this specific game.

Rooting will cause me to loose my warranty. my phone has already broken after only having it 2 months. It wouldnt make sense for me to lose my warranty over a video game. I'm sure there has to be a way to back up my data without rooting.

You can backup your app data with carbon backup app , it also works on non-rooted devices but you will need a pc , here's the download link go to play store for more details.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en

worked really good. i used mybackuppro for all else and carbon for data restore. thanks so much all
would an app like app to zip do the same? i have all my data on another phone and upgraded to the sIII and now my old pphone don't have service of course. but it does have app2zip for some weird reason.
I am having the same problem. I have lots of coins and items in Subway Surfer on my old Samsung Epic 4g. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. Both of my phones are not rooted. I am reading up on it and will probably end up rooting my new S4 and would root my Epic if I needed to. I have a further problem in that the micro USB port on my Epic is broken. I have tried Carbon back up but it doesn't seem to be compatible with my Epic. Even if it was It says it requires a PC which I assume I would involve using the micro USB port which is broken.
I figure the backup programs copy files from the old phone to the new phone. I have tried to do this several times myself with no luck. I have found 3 folders to copy they all seem to be named com.kiloo.subwaysurf. The first 2 one on the SD card. One is in Android/Data and one is in .VungleCacheDir. The third is on the phone under /mnt/asec. I copied them all and tried to replace those files in those places on the new phone. The first 2 copied fine. The third was wierd because the /mnt/asec folder on my S4 was empty. I tried to place the com.kiloo.subwaysurf file from my old phone in that folder but my file manager wouldn't let me. I tried doing it with Astro, jumble file manager, and a third file manager and none of them let me. That leads me to believe there is some permission issue. I am assuming rooting would allow me to copy this file but I don't know that even if I did this strategy would work. Does anyone know if it would work or not? If so how do I make it work?
Is there a back up app that would allow me to copy this app and the app data over to my new phone using the SD card or bluetooth? Is there a version of Carbon back up that is compatible? Even if there is can I use it without a working micro USB port?
Does Titanium backup require a working micro USB port? If it does I can try and root my Epic without using the micro usb port which I haven't read enough yet to see if it is possible.
My third option is trying to fix the micro usb port on the Epic. I have kept my epic alive this far by using replacement parts from another Epic. I also used that other epic as a battery charger. The last time I took it apart it looked like of the 8 or so pins connecting the micro USB plug to the motherboard of the phone 2 were broken off. I tried to bend them back down and I thought I had fixed it but I guess not. Any advice on fixing the port would be helpful.

Would mybackuppro work to restore the an app AND that apps data? like the OP (and me) want to do with Subway Surfer? I downloaded the trial version of mybackuppro and it backed up Subway Surfer but it says I need the pro version to restore it on a different device. I don't mind buying the pro version but I would like to know if it would serve my purpose first. I am desperately trying to transfer all of my Subway Surfer winnings onto my new phone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Carbon back up doesn't seem to be compatible with my old phone (epic 4g) and likely requires a working micro SD port, which my epic lacks.

If you connect Subway Surfers to a Facebook account it will bring your high score to your new phone. Mine did at least. I made a separate facebook account just for the occasion. I haven't figured out how to bring my coins and items with me yet though. good luck.
Subway Surfers restore on Galaxy Note 3 (VzW)
Got my new Verizon Galaxy Note 3. Its not rooted, although I hear a method is now available. I've tried everything under the sun to try and get a restored copy of Subway surfers to work. I have a rooted Motorola Driod Bionic. So Subway surfers is backed up there. I have a rooted Google Nexus 10 tablet, I can use TBpro to restore SS on the nexus device. Ive tried just about every highly rated back/restore app that is free from the marketplace. None of them restore the data. I've tried going and installing older SS apk files, and using my saved userpref, onlinestatus, etc etc. But that doesnt appear to work either.
I've installed hacked apk that gives you everything, and since SS links with FB you can get your Highscore. But whenever a new SS update comes out, you wont get it, because there are no marketplace links.
Anybody have luck using any application/scheme to save/restore SS user/profile data on a non-rooted android device?
Helium worked for me .
I first made a backup of data to my external SD card. I then restored the data from the sd card on the same phone to verify that the process was successful ( cuz once or twice the backups appeared to be successful but there were some errors when I attempted to restore).
I then installed helium on the new phone. Using file explorer go to the carbon folder. in that make a folder com.kiloo.subwaysurf. Then send the backup files from carbon folder of ur old phone to ur new phone.
Next, open helium . restore >restore from external/ internal sd card, select subway surfers and you're done!

Tired this on my nexus 10 tablet. But helium would not even retire what it backed up. My nexus is rooted so I tried backing up with and without root allowed for helium. All restores using helium onto the same device failed. That was my hope. To get a restore that worked. Then using those backednuo files. Didn't work, but wasn't a surprise since it never worked even on the original device.
Just chiming in here. I used titanium pro to back up subway surfers and it did absolutely jack. also logging into facebook only brings me my high score back. nothing else.
You backed up on what device? You restored onto. Rooted Note 3?
Lost my data

Hi jetguat, can you please share the hacked apk. I am unable to download it from the usual links. I lost my data from my previous phone as I assumed that google will save the data for all applications that I have installed. Now I hope to recover more than just my best score. thanks

If the hack includes hacks of in app purchases or coins, then it can be posted onto xda. In fact, it can not even be discussed on xda, as it is considered warez.
Since there are no details of the hack, the discussion can continue, but please do not post or discuss warez.
Thanks!

Hi JustMPM,
I am trying to locate the one where the data for the player stats are retained and can be backedd up without root. A fresh install does not clear them out. No warez are expected.

Well, so you are using an android phone. My solution should work for you then since it has a SD card (you have it and it isn't broken right?).
So the thing you need to do is that you have to get a memory card reader to read your SD card on the computer. The next step would be to download a data backup software to collect your entire data. The tool you can use are plenties, some example would be EaseUS, recuva etc.
But personally I will suggest you go with easeus since they are offering some discount right now and most of their products are free. So here is the link to todo backup download. Just follow the instructions. After the data backup is done you just copy it to your new phone's memory card and then everything should be all set.
